Practitioners' views sought on SEND funding

A new survey into the impact of early years funding on SEND provision has been launched by the Early Years Alliance.

The online survey seeks to gain practitioners' views on whether current levels of early years funding and additional funding aimed specifically at supporting provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are sufficient. It also aims to identify particular challenges that providers are currently facing in this area.

It asks respondents if they have experienced any delays in receiving SEND funding, whether they have funded additional support for children out of their own pocket, and if that has had a negative financial impact on their setting.

All responses are anonymous unless respondents are happy to provide contact details for future follow-up work.
